One dies in stove explosion

JAKARTA (JP): A boy died and his brother suffered serious burn
injuries on Friday morning when a stove exploded in a house on
Jl. Kayumanis, in Kramat Jati district, East Jakarta.

Supario, the victims' uncle, said the incident happened when
Suarti, 26, was cooking in the kitchen, which is located seven
meters from the bathroom.

"For no specific reason, the stove just exploded and burned
the two children inside the bathroom," he told reporters at the
emergency unit at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital on
Saturday.

Fathan, 5, and his brother Louten, 3, were severely injured by
the explosion with burns over their entire bodies. They were
rushed to Pasar Rebo Hospital in East Jakarta.

Supario said Louten died at 4 p.m. on Friday, while Fathan was
transferred on Saturday to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital's (RSCM)
emergency unit for further treatment.

Supario said criticized the treatment administered by Pasar
Rebo Hospital, saying that nurses at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital
had to reopen the bandages that covered Fathan to cleanse and
treat the burns before applying fresh bandages. (06)
